Chapter 745 Cut Love!
Just as Wang Guan was amazed at the bright light of the peach cup, Xing Qiu patted his shoulder and reminded him: "Don't be stunned anymore. If you find it difficult to choose, just close your eyes and choose one."
"Don't hurry, look slowly, the important thing is to suit your heart." Pei Hongquan smiled. Anyway, he had been watching for so long, so he didn't have to wait for a few minutes. Besides, he liked Wang Guan again, so he naturally wouldn't urge him.
At the same time, Wang Guan also woke up and knew that such an occasion was not easy to distract himself, so he immediately took away his special abilities, but his eyes fell on the peach cup again, and a hint of surprise flashed through his eyes. This thing was indeed unusual...
"How is it? Have you decided?" Xing Qiu asked again. Pei Hongquan was not anxious. He was a little impatient. After all, it felt uncomfortable to hear the two of you just couldn't get in.
“It’s decided.”
At this moment, Wang Guan pointed: "Master Pei, I like this thing. I wonder if you can give up?"
"What?"
For a moment, Pei Hongquan was stunned: "Do you want this peach cup?"
"That's right, it's this peach cup." Wang Guan smiled and said, "Actually, the purpose of our visit to Yixing this time is to find the sky blue clay material. Unfortunately, I haven't found it for a long time, so I have to settle for the second best. Since I can't find the sky blue clay, it's good to take a piece of stuff made of sky blue clay back."
"This is just a guess, and things may not be made of sky blue mud." Pei Hongquan kindly reminded.
"Not afraid, I believe Master Pei Shimin will not make a mistake."
Wang Guan's decisive words made Pei Hongquan difficult to refute. After all, as a descendant of Pei Shimin, others trust their grandfather, so he was embarrassed to accuse the other party of wrongdoing?
After a moment of silence, Pei Hongquan shook his head and said, "You should know what this peach cup is like. To put it bluntly, even the apprentice's skills are not as good as those of you. Do you really plan to do it?"
"That's right."
Wang Guan smiled and said, "Master Pei, you know that if it is a purple clay object made by a famous family with a sky blue mud, the price will definitely be high and Angzhi. I guess I can't afford it either. But I want to collect the sky blue mud pot, so this peach cup is also the best choice. I hope Master Pei can do it."
At this time, Pei Hongquan began to think about it, and after thinking for a moment, he simply nodded and said, "Okay, if you want it, I'll give it to you, I just hope you don't regret it in the future."
"If Master Pei is worried, I can make a note and exchange stone yellow for one peach cup. Maybe I will take advantage of it." Wang Guan said with a smile. Pei Hongquan naturally felt that he was joking.
Pei Hongquan knew the origin of the peach cup. It was after Master Pei Shimin repaired the authentic peach cup of Xiang Shengsi and also wanted to collect one. After searching for it, he failed to get what he wanted. When he finally decided to give up, he found this thing at a street stall. He felt that the thing was similar to the Xiang Shengsi peach cup, so he bought it.
After returning home, Master Pei Shimin studied carefully and came to the conclusion that the things might be made of sky-green mud. However, Pei Hongquan was somewhat doubtful about this view. After all, the things were too crude and had a big gap with the sky-green mud pot he imagined.
Moreover, the quality of the things is not good. It has been placed in the room for many years. Many relatives and friends have seen it. They have also inquired about the past like Wang Guan, but Wang Guan is the first to ask for it.
So if you weigh it, if you use this not-so-value Tao Cup in exchange for a piece of Shihuang worth millions, you will take advantage of it no matter how you look at it. Pei Hongquan has no reason not to agree, and he has no idea that he cannot sell his ancestral objects.
At this moment, Xing Qiu suddenly said, "Master Pei, I want to buy a pot and ask for your work. I wonder if you would like to sell one to me?"
"Huh?" Pei Hongquan was stunned and then smiled, "Which pot do you like?"
"that is……"
Xing Qiu hesitated for a while and touched Wang Guan, asking him to help him tell me which pot is the best.
"The Yudie Lion Ball Pot is good." Wang Guan understood it and then smiled: "But that's a fine product, and the price must be very high."
"Money is not a problem, mainly because I really like it, but I don't know if Master Pei is willing to agree." Xing Qiu's face was full of expectation.
"My friend Wang's eyes are so vicious that he fell in love with my proud work at first glance."
At the same time, Pei Hongquan smiled and sighed: "That lion ball pot was a handful of old mud three years ago. I was so happy to see the hunter. I originally wanted to pass it on to my children, but today I accepted your favor, but I was embarrassed to refuse. But Xiaoyou Wang was right, the price of things may be a bit expensive..."
Hearing this, Wang Guan stretched out his finger and gestured. Xing Qiu saw it and immediately spoke, "Seven hundred thousand, I want it."
Pei Hongquan smiled reservedly when he heard the sound, which was accused.
There is no need to say much about what happened next. After Xing Qiu handed over a check, Pei Hongquan immediately found two brocade boxes, packed the two items, and handed them to Wang Guan and Xing Qiu respectively.
"Master Pei..."
At the right time, Xing Qiu had something to say, and was embarrassed to laugh, "Can you take a photo with me?"
Pei Hongquan was a little surprised and suddenly felt relieved again. After all, these days, counterfeits have become rampant in the market, and even his works have been counterfeited. Therefore, when some collectors and merchants come to buy things, they occasionally ask to take photos with him, which is also considered evidence. It shows that the things are really made by him, not fake things.
Thinking Xing Qiu was the same, Pei Hongquan naturally would not refuse, so he immediately cooperated and smiled very warmly.
"Wang Guan, do a favor and take a better shot."
After Xing Qiu handed the phone to Wang Guan, he immediately stood beside Pei Hongquan, with a bright smile.
Seeing this, Wang Guan vaguely felt that he was making some idea, but he did not intend to expose it. Instead, he followed the good side and took seven or eight photos in a row until Xing Qiu was satisfied.
"Thank you..."
Seeing the photos, Xing Qiu's smile became stronger.
"It's true that I'm laughing so happily!" Wang Guan said affirmatively.
Of course, Wang Guan said this openly after leaving Pei Hongquan's home. After the transaction was completed, there was no need for Pei Hongquan's hint, so Wang Guan tactfully told him to leave.
Pei Hongquan did not speak to keep him. After politely seeing him off, he immediately carried Shi Huang to the studio to study. This disappointed Xing Qiu, who originally thought he could have a meal at the Pei family, but after hearing Wang Guan's joke, he was excited and said with a smile: "Don't slander people, I'm just creating conditions. I can't find the sky blue mud, so I have to find another way."
"What are you going to do?" Wang Guan said curiously: "Is it useful to give my father's things to my daughter?"
"Whether there is, it depends on how to use it." Xing Qiu said proudly, obviously full of confidence.
"Is that right? Just be careful not to make mistakes." Wang Guan said casually, not asking questions. After all, compared to Xing Qiu's picking up girls, he was more concerned about the mystery of the peach cup.
After thinking about it, Wang Guan asked, "Don't you look for the sky blue mud?"
"I won't look for it anymore, go back." Xing Qiu waved his hand and said frankly: "I also want to thank you for your help these days."
"Well, why are you?" Wang Guan chuckled: "As you said, it's better to say that you are with me than to accompany you. After all, I have gained a lot in a few days."
"Hehe, I have gained even more today..." Xing Qiu smiled and smiled.
"Each of each other!" Wang Guan smiled and returned to the hotel with Xing Qiu, packed his luggage and went back to the house. However, the directions of the two were different. Xing Qiu was returning to Ezhou, while Wang Guan was returning to the porcelain capital.
After saying goodbye, the two made an appointment to get back together and parted ways.
Not long after, Wang Guan returned home successfully and happened to have dinner with his parents. After dinner, he washed the plates and then began to study the peach cup.
When Wang Guan was at Pei Hongquan's house before, he had also looked at the cup carefully. Now, after looking at it repeatedly, he still looked the same, but he felt different.
Of course, the so-called feeling is also a psychological effect. In fact, it still looks like that, with a rough surface, a dark color, dull and no sign of style.
Speaking of which, purple clay teapots are like calligraphy and paintings, there are also patterns. In the lid, the bottom or root of the pot, the signature of the pot maker is engraved with the signature of the pot maker to indicate the age, the maker and the user of it.
Generally speaking, collectors attach great importance to whether there is a famous artifact on the objects. Just like when people see an exquisite porcelain, they must first turn over to see if there is an official kiln artifact at the bottom. They think that the economic value of any work without a book artifact will be greatly reduced.
However, it is not to say that things without models are not good. At least Wang Guan knew that he had collected a batch of purple clay teapots without models in the Forbidden City, but those purple clay teapots are of very good quality, and are not inferior to famous artists, or even better. It can be seen that we cannot simply judge heroes by using models.
This is what this peach cup is now, with a rich connotation, but it is just that it cannot be seen on the surface.
Wang Guan studied it for a long time, but still couldn't see anything special. After thinking for a while, he simply boiled a pot of hot water and rinsed the peach cup with heat.
Speaking of this, it is necessary to mention common sense for the maintenance of purple clay utensils, especially newly purchased purple clay utensils, which should be washed inside and outside with boiling water to remove the dust on the surface. Then put the things in a pot without oil stains and cook for two or three hours, so that the earthy smell and fire of the teapot will be removed.
There are also several steps to reduce fire, nourish and rebirth. After three procedures, boiling tofu, boiling sugarcane, and boiling tea, the purple clay utensils are no longer lifeless dead objects, but are reborn and absorbing the essence of tea. The first thing to brew tea can make people feel fragrant.
However, after these three processes, there was no obvious change in this Tao Cup, which disappointed Wang Guan, and it was not surprising. After all, he knew that there was such a procedure, so Pei Hongquan had no reason to be unclear. It must have been repeatedly tested. If there were any changes, people would have understood it clearly for a long time, so why bother to do this?
The conventional method doesn't work, so how can we solve the mystery?
